Tap at Grünerløkka Brygghus. Dark, hazy reddish brown, with a frothy beige head on top. Aroma is filled with hops, smells green and fresh and juicy. Grass, grapefruit, tangerine, weed, and light bread, caramel, chocolate and coffee. As expected, it’s got a solid bitterness, with a tiny burnt sourness to it, and a hint of bitter chocolate, coffee and roasted notes in the finish. It’s still a lot about the hops though, grassy and citric hops galore. Well balanced. As the previous ale I had from Kinn, Slåtteøl, the mouthfeel is so smooth and soft. This one could perhaps have had a tad more carbonation. It’s listed as an amber, but it felt more like a big, well-hopped brown to me. And that was basically exactly what I wanted that moment.

Fra kran på Grünerløkka Brygghus, Oslo 29 Okt 11. Mørkebrunt. OK svakt farget skum som nesten blir helt borte. God fruktig aroma. Smaken er syrlig frukt. En balansert bitterhet kommer sigende. Avslutninga er vel tung & bitter.

14.10.2011. On tap at Grunerløkka Brewpub. Dark brown colour with off-white head. Aroma is malty with lots of bitter hops. Flavours of dark malts with notes of roasted malt and smooth soft sweetness. Very nice bitterness that lasts. Good beer.

On tap @ Grünerløkka Brygghus, Oslo. Murky brown body, small white head. Nose is toffee, nuts, hints of milk chocolate and coffee. Taste is roasty malt tones, caramel, wood and nuts. Kinda like Kinn’s "Manna", but beefier and slightly more complex. A nice, brown autumn beer, befitting of the season.

From tap @ Grünerløkka Mat & Mikroølfestival. Hazed reddish-brown body. Coarse off-white top. Aroma of burnt caramel and fruity hops. Notes of dark bread and pepper. Taste is balanced blend of citrus fruity hops and roasted caramel and nuts. Filling. Slick texture. A really fine seasonal.

Cask @ Grunerløkka Brygghus, Oslo. This is a dark murky bastard with a thin bubbly beige head. The aroma is mild, light fruity, hints of roasted malts and perhaps even some smoke? Anyhow, quite nice. It has really soft carbonation - almost what one could call flat actually - and the mouthfeel is kinda slippery and slack. Good lightly burned and smoky flavors mixed with some dark ripe fruity notes and nuts. Quite malty and it has lots of nice malt sweetness before you get subtle hints of chocolate and cocoa in the finish. Yeah, I quite liked this, even though I don’t see myself drinking a butt load of it in one evening. Really nice stuff and a perfect autumn warmer.

0,4 l hand pump. Hazy red/brown, thin head. Rich, malty mouthwatering aroma. Malty flavour, too, but well balanced by hoppy dryness. Herbal and woody finish.

On tap at Grunerløkka Brygghus, Oslo.Pours unclear deep brown with a small tanned creamy head. Nutty malty aroma. Taste is moderate sweet toffee, light roasted malts, quite a good refresher.

On tap at Grunerløkka Brygghus. Cloudy dark brown with a rocky head. Citrussy hop nose backed by good caramel flavours. A good one.
